Turner and the Masters

Turner is widely regarded as the greatest painter Britain has ever produced.Uniquely in the history of European art, he took on all comers, past and present, that he considered worthy of a challenge, creating his own images in their styles. These works were both an act of homage and a sophisticated form of art criticism; a demonstration of his understanding of great art and his ability to equal or better the most celebrated exponents of the landscape tradition.
